Dentist Survey of One results: Not much use, here. Turns out my friends' dentist is in the "New Age" crowd, and has a relatively young, healthy, non-smoking/drinking clientele. So he's not too dialed in to the oral cancer field. He has never heard of OraTest/Scan. Also, he didn't know of any of the BDTC distribution arms. As I said, not much use here. Oh, well...
Unrelated question: Regarding the number of ZILA shares outstanding, I hope someone can explain this to me. On the 1995 Balance sheet (p. 8 of the '95 annual report, under shareholders' equity, Common Stock) are the following two lines:
Common stock, $.001 par value-authorized 50,000,000 shares;
issued, 24,355,462 sh (1995) and 24,029,968 sh (1994)
Does this mean there are 48,385,430 shares (24,355,462 + 24,029,968) outstanding? Seems like a lot, and also means that ZILA's market cap is close to 400 Million. But I don't know how else to read it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ivan |
